Chicagoing: Fido to Go Food Truck for Dogs

I think Chicago may be a little late to the game, but all of a sudden food-trucks are the latest city sensation. The idea is mainly based on serendipity, that you will be walking along and all of a sudden find a "pop-up restaurant" presenting you with empanadas, or gourmet sausages, or sliders. But we have been taking the serendipity out of it by attending Food Truck Tuesdays in CB2's parking lot, and Ethyl's Trucking Thursdays where many food trucks gather at a scheduled time. So does it still count as "finding a food truck" if we already know where they're all scheduled to be? Much like the long-standing debate of whether it still counts as "fishing" if the fish was already dead when it was caught?

 Regardless, I think one place Chicago is ahead of the game is with the Fido to Go food truck. This bright yellow dog bakery on wheels has made our food trucking outings into a family adventure:

 

 The truck offers a variety of fresh-baked dog treats, even gluten-free, and frozen deserts. Our pooches favorite has been the Mac and Cheese ice-cream, where a portion of the proceeds benefit local rescues which change every month. July's rescue was Don't Bully my Breed, which made us happy about buying the pooches ice-cream, and the pooches were equally happy eating it:

The pooches have been lucky enough to find the food truck at West Fest and it is often parked over near Moonshine. They have already become conditioned to realize big yellow trucks hold treats. Here is Miss M trying to make her break-in.

And ever wonder what a food truck looks like from a dog's perspective? Here are some photos Mr. B took with his camera.
